Sheraton Imperial Hotel Modernizes Its Wireless Networks with Cisco
Local Hotel Partners with Clearview Networks to Deliver Faster, More Reliable Internet for Guests with Multiple Devices
Durham, NC, June 11, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center, the ultimate guest and dining experience with more than 34,000 square feet of meeting space, deployed substantial upgrades to its wireless network, which is now designed to better meet the business needs of its guests, including faster and more reliable Internet capabilities across multiple devices.
Located just moments away from Research Triangle Park, the Sheraton Imperial caters to travelers who are from major global corporations and universities and often carry multiple Internet-enabled devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets. By upgrading its Wi-Fi infrastructure, the hotel fulfilled the increasing demand for improved Internet as part of the modern hotel guest experience. Since deploying the new network, the number of connected devices and the amount of traffic on the network, have doubled.
Clearview Networks, which specializes in offering network solutions for the hospitality industry, worked with the Sheraton Imperial to deploy over 115 Cisco Aironet 700W Series Access Points. These dual-radio, 802.11n-based access points can be mounted on the wall over existing data outlets. Ideal for hospitality businesses that are looking to enhance the guest experience with Wi-Fi, the Cisco Aironet 700W Series can handle complex wireless access demands by many guests and across multiple devices, and provide cost-savings through seamless integration with existing networks.

“When travelers used to arrive with just a laptop, wireless access points in our hallways were able to cover as many as 10 rooms,” said Mike Martino, general manager of the Sheraton Imperial. “Today, with guests bringing two to four devices or more, we needed to modernize our system to cater to the growing demand for faster, more reliable Internet connectivity. Thanks to our partnership with Clearview Networks, our new CISCO access points will help us continue to meet our goal of excellent customer service.”
“Because the new access points are now located in the guest rooms, people will have the ability to connect multiple devices at a significantly high signal strength, while keeping the signal-to-noise ratio low,” said John Sullivan, president of Clearview Networks. “We are proud to have helped the Sheraton Imperial provide this upgrade to meet the needs of its guests.”
